Why is it that every school age child in Iran can name the date of the US/UK overthrow of Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mossadegh - August 19, 1953 - but the vast majority of Americans are clueless about this history?

Profits push compassion to the rear, forcing citizens to choose. But there are no acceptable options.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
Susan Collins' statement on the ICE assault on Maine. Could it be anymore passive? It reads like a letter to the editor. You would never guess that she is complicit, or even involved.
We all assumed Noem was after the VP slot when her book came out with the dog shooting passage. Maybe she was shooting (pun intended) for the job she has... cruelty is certainly an asset.
If we abandon Europe, and dominate the South and Central American counties, won’t that mean that even more brown people from the south will want to come here? Clearly, Trump has not thought this through. Practice your Spanish folks.
So… chat GBT is like your husband. Sometimes he gives you good information and other times he just makes shit up.
Ummmm… King has voted to end the shutdown.

Good morning! 🌞
The fact that the literal seat of Wallstreet - the epicenter of capital - the city where Billionaire's dreams are made - Fox News is headquartered - & DJT was born - is now under the jurisdiction of a 34 yro Muslim Democratic Socialist is... laugh out loud funny.
Charming & absurd.
Tomorrow is election day. There are no "unimportant" election. You need to vote. Every one of you! So make a plan today so you can vote tomorrow.
I am Sparticus!
Good morning.
Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.
Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.
People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.
Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
Core 1A speech.
With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
Based on news reports, the National Guard has not yet arrived in Memphis, but their deployment is being planned.
I’m wondering if they are ever going to deploy.
Remember, reposting this is an act of resistance.

Teddy Roosevelt
I’ve been thinking about this. How about Comedy Central hosts Colbert for two hours starting at 7pm. I would watch. And the networks would go batshit as he cuts into their prime time audience. What say you?
I have not seen troops deployed to Memphis.... Shouldn't this have happened by now? Is it possible that he is bluffing? Press releases of events that don't actually happen? Maybe this is a new level of crazy in this crazy time.
Stevenson also said "I have been tempted to make a proposal to our Republican friends: that if they stop telling lies about us, we would stop telling the truth about them".

What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. - Adlai Stevenson

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

"Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future."

“The right to criticize: the right to hold unpopular beliefs; the right to protest; the right of independent thought. The exercise of these rights should not cost one single American citizen his reputation or his right to a livelihood…Otherwise none of us could call our souls our own.”

“The battle we have fought, and are still fighting, for the forests is part of the eternal conflict between right and wrong, and we cannot expect to see the end of it… and should always be glad to find anything so surely good and noble to strive for.”

“We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom... Before the pen of Jefferson scratched across the pages of history the majestic word of the Declaration of Independence, we were here”. - MLK letter from Birmingham Jail
